ENAV Group Consolidated Financial Statements

                              Provision for bad debt and inventories losses

                                  The provision for bad debt and inventory losses respectively reflect the estimates
                                  of the Group’s bad debt losses and of the amount of spare parts that have become
                                  obsolete and can no longer be used for the systems and equipment to which they
                                  relate. Although it is considered that these allowances are reasonable, the use of
                                  different assumptions or a change in economic conditions could lead to changes and
                                  accordingly have an effect on results.

                                      technical and systematic standards in flight safety, and the enhancement of the
                                      technology and infrastructure of flight assistance systems.

6. New accounting standards, interpretations and amendments
   adopted by the company

                                        As an addition to the accounting standards adopted to prepare the
                                        consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014,
                                        the following section set out the main changes occurring in 2015 to the
                                        accounting standards applicable for the first time effective from 1 January
                                        2015 that are of relevance to the Group, together with the interpretations and
                                        amendments to standards that are not yet effective or not yet adopted by
                                        the European Union, and which could find application in future consolidated
                                        financial statements.
                                    •	 FRIC 21 Levies - This interpretation establishes when an entity must
                                        recognize a liability in its financial statements for an obligation to pay a
                                        levy, other than income taxes, due to the government or, more generally,
                                        to local or international bodies. More specifically, the interpretation requires
                                        a liability to be recognised in the financial statements when the obligating
                                        event generating the obligation to pay a levy occurs, as defined in the
                                        legislation. When the obligating events occurs over a specific time period
                                        (for example, generating revenue over a specific time period), the liability
                                        must be recognised progressively. If the obligation to pay is triggered by

                                                                                                                                                            ENAV - Annual financial report 2015 95
